syntax for gdb to print elements of 2D array?
 

Hi.

The syntax for gdb to print all the elements of a 1-D array is:
and to print the next 5 elements of array myarray starting at element 3, say, is:

Can anyone tell me the syntax to print elements when you go beyond a 1-D array?

Thanks

I don't know the gdb's syntax, but perhaps you could help yourself with ddd (if you're running X), it's actually a really sophisticated GUI for gdb, which can also graphically display the arrays and it displays the gdb commands it uses.

Thanks for that...but Suse(this and previous version anyway, I think!) is missing a certain Motif file Xm needed to build the GUI. I've come across this problem before trying to install another GUI program. I could install the Lesstif package in it's place but don't think it's worth the trouble for all I need to do...

So if anyone does know the command line gdb syntax for checkin gthe elements of a multi-dimensional array?

thanks

ok. I think the syntax is:

- for example to entry (2,3) of array array...

but I can't check this because my array is messed up!

entering

into gdb returns the type of the array and the dimension of the array...is this right?

doing this for the array that I am trying to get at gives:

I assume the (0:-1,0:-1) refers to the extents of the array - here a bit wacky!

Can anyone confirm this?

if you do a lot of C programming
ddd is definitely worth it.
